Cha-ching!

On matters ICAC, you hope
Amanda Poole
, the wife of Cascade Coal founding investor
Richard Poole
, has started paying more attention to her money after facing the commission in December.

As one of the top 20 shareholders of Australian Power and Gas, Poole stands to make more than $3 million from AGL Energy’s intended takeover of APG. Her husband, who also faced the ICAC inquiry, is one of the three largest shareholders of APG.

But the former air-hostess is historically a bit flaky with money. Poole said she was “completely surprised" that her personal account had been used to transfer millions of dollars to the Obeid’s to buyout their interest in a mining joint venture with Cascade Coal. Poole told the inquiry last year she didn’t pay close attention to her finances. “I only ever use my credit card because I get frequent flyer points." Any readers who bump into the lovely lady, let her know she shouldn’t worry about maxing out that card for a while.
